Had to move a small team away from skype/teams quickly so renting dedicated matrix hosting in Europe and not federating the instance has been working great, except for some issues like group calls over jitsi not working properly and users reluctant to learn more odd interfaces.
We’ve had a countertop convection oven since the mid-2000s, one of them was a black and decker, first one was a delonghi, current one is cuisinart.
We also had a modern ‘air fryer’ gifted to us, which is loud and more aggressive with the fan, but only a little faster… it has some extra accessories. Thinking of getting rid of it as redundant, and the ‘toaster oven’ is more flexible.
Jimmy Pattison is a billionaire and got there by being a colossal asshole. His loyalties are not with you or me. He’s a net negative for BC. I avoid as many of the Pattison assets as I can, but it’s hard to track all of them. The Buycott app helps me trace ownership.
Genocide bad. But topic: French/Russian relations. Expect downvotes for trying to hijack.
We do need to improve how we use the fediverse if we are going to cover topics fruitfully.
There's more than one genocide currently happening, and if you are North American, you are passively participating. Please post that broader discussion in its own thread, it's how discussion fora work. I will get you started: the genocide on turtle island hasn't fully stopped. The Uyghurs are being erased. Island nations are being dispersed. Sudan is suffering. These are all urgent and connected, as with Gaza. We all have a stake.
She is not creating the system, but is in fact reinforcing it. It is by definition undemocratic.
I am glad she's shedding the capital, but be real, she's never going to shed enough to come back to the realm of ordinary humans. She married an oligarch, and by being an oligarch that temporarily embarrassed billionaires such as yourself stan for, she is a shining beacon of justification for the system as it is.
I hope that once I achieve oligarch status myself, that you and I can carry on this deep conversation!
You do understand that you started a shitthread by accusing OP of being a paid fascist, right? Then leaned into it. But most of your comment history is flip quips, so par I guess.
Don’t be a bonehead and drag down the discourse, Scotty there is regularly posting and commenting against the authoritarian regime in the US as well.
Lemmy has a lot of reddit-like baggage, but it’s a small community, it's easy to recognize users and verify their history, and even tag them if you use the right reader.
Yeah, obviously. So, are they in denial or do they know something we don't?
